Air Plants Display
Air Plants, or Tillandsias,
are a great way to add some greenery to your space. They are cherished by both florists and designers, as they offer a modern and natural touch to your interior design. Air plant display can be quite simple because they do not require a soil medium to grow. Instead, air plants absorb nutrients from the air around them. Hang them in glass ornamentals from your ceiling or simply display them on a bookshelf.
Not to mention, Mosses pair well with air plants! Place your air plants on a bed of moss, either in a terrarium or a ceramic bow, and mist the moss every couple of days. This will provide your air plants with added humidity if you live in a dry climate.

Air plant wood displays are incredibly popular due to the fact that trees are its natural habitat so it’s truly the organic way to display tillandsia.
Air plants grow roots to cling tightly to trees to protect them from predators. Yet, waiting for roots to grow at home into your wood mount would take six to ten months and most of us do not want to wait that long which is why we have outlined a simple plan for mounting and watering your air plant display wood.
